Assuming the house is parallel to the ground, your triangle is made up by the house, the ground, and the ladder. Using sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse on the angle 70 degrees, you would have sin(70) = 20/x (because 20 is the side opposite of the angle connecting the ladder and the ground)
--> simplify sin(70) * x = 20 --> x = 20 / sin(70 
--> substitute (and make sure your calculator in in degrees) x= 21. 284

Three of these expressions are equal to the volume of the barn shown. Which expression is not?
timurjin [86]

The statement that does not match the others is the one at lower right.

_____

The barn's volume can be decomposed into a rectangular prism and a triangular one. Thus the <em>upper right</em> expression is a true represenation of the barn's volume:

... Volume of triangular prism + Volume of rectangular prism

The volume of a <em>rectangular prism</em> is the product of its dimensions. The dimensions of the rectangular prism portion of the barn's volume are a, b, c, so the volume of that portion is ...

... Volume of rectangular prism = a·b·c

The volume of a <em>triangular prism</em> is the area of the triangular base multiplied by the length of the prism. Here, the triangular base has base dimension b and height (d-c), so its area is ...

... Area of triangular barn end = (1/2)b(d-c)

Since the length of the barn is "a", the volume of the triangular prism is ...

... Volume of triangular prism = (1/2)b(d-c)a = (1/2)·a·b·(d-c)

The <em>total volume</em> is the sum of the volumes of the parts ...

... a·b·c + (1/2)·a·b·(d-c) . . . . . . matches the <em>upper right</em> selection

This can be factored by removing a·b to outside parentheses:

... a·b·((1/2)·(d-c) + c) . . . . . . . . . matches the <em>lower left</em> selection

___

Since the two left selections match the one at upper right, the odd one is the one at lower left.

Vusi makes bead bracelets in different designs. The first design uses 23 beads, the second design uses 29 beads and the third de
sergey [27]

When the remainder theorem is applied to the total number of beads, the number of beads left is 3

<h3>What is remainder theorem?</h3>

The question is an illustration of remainder theorem. Remainder theorem is used to determine the remainder when a number divides another

The number of beads used in each design are given as:

First = 23

Second = 29

Third = 31

Calculate the total number of beads used for all three designs

Total =First + Second + Third

Total =23 + 29 + 31

Total =83

The number of available beads is:

Available = 750

Divide 750 by 83, to get the total number of designs

n = \frac{750}{83}

n =9.03

Remove decimal (do not approximate)

n = 9

The number of beads remaining is calculated using:

Remaining =Available -n \times Total

Remaining =750 -9 \times 83

Remaining =3

Hence, there are 3 beads remaining
